New submission from Максим Цыпкин <drauger...@gmail.com>:
The following code: class TestServer(BaseManager):pass Server_1=TestServer(address=("127.0.0.1",55555),authkey="passkey") produces following error in python 3.2 : "TypeError: string argument without an encoding" The cause is in BaseManager constructor implementation (Python32\Lib\multiprocessing\managers.py): self._authkey = AuthenticationString(authkey) The "AuthenticationString" class is a substitute of "bytes" class, and "bytes" class requires second encoding argument, if first argument is a string. I've solved this problem, changing the code in "Python32\Lib\multiprocessing\managers.py" to following: if isinstance(authkey,str): self._authkey = AuthenticationString(authkey,'utf-8') else: self._authkey = AuthenticationString(authkey) This works for me. Please consider to fix this issue in release. ---------- components: Extension Modules messages: 157539 nosy: Drauger priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Error initialising BaseManager class with 'authkey' argument of string type. type: crash versions: Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14501> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
